But using gnome (2.6) I *think* (or misunderstand) it or its wm are screwing things up because for one thing I have to specifically load ~/.Xdefaults when I start a session so that my initial emacs has the geometry I want. The problem is using emacs' "new frame" and getting a position/size that isn't at all what's in ~/.Xdefaults (and I don't set geo in ~/.emacs so I don't know where this wierd geo is coming from). I know I can set geo in ~/.emacs and maybe/probably the new frames would have the correct geo; but if I want to continue doing it the way I already am, can someone tell me how/if I can set "new frame"-only geo in ~/.emacs?
